#Yes I'm sneaking Pedrenzo in here

[42bakery]

In Qatar 2008, Jorge acussed Dani to not congratulate him, but Dani doesn't remember it. He remember that that year he had surgery on his hand because he had broken a metacarp on his right hand and he race.

At that time, Dani didn't shake hands with anyone (sorry Jorge you aren't that special) because he didn't want people to squeeze his hand. He doesn't remember if there was or weren't any verbal congratulations from his part.

This episode went on and gave such a bad imatge that the Spanish King forced a hand shake in Jerez that same year and is probably the worst point in Dani and Jorge relationship.

Who thought that the lowest moment in the Pedrenzo history was caused by a injury that Dai wanted to hide?

Chapter 1: Don't fuck up

All chapters

"JORGE! JORGE! OPEN THE DOOR!"

He groaned. All he wanted was to smash Marquezs head against the wall to make him shut up. He was way too active after a whole day of riding.

Jorge was tired, exhausted. His whole body hurt after crashing. All he wanted was to finish making dinner, expecting Dani to return by then so they could eat, cuddle and sleep.

But that fucking knocking wouldn't stop. He was about to consider just putting on headphones until Marc thought the motorhome was empty. But then he said the few words that stopped his heart.

"JORGE! FUCKING HELL! IT'S - Please open the door! It's about Dani"

Dani.

His heart stopped for a long moment. Without hesitation, he crossed the short distance and ripped the door open. "What happened?" he asked urgently, trying not to let his brain spiral down the path of worst ideas. "Is he okay?" "He is" Marc hurried to say. "He's alive, happy and not injured."

"OH thank you" he breathed out in relief "Then - I swear if you lied-" "No!" he added quickly. "I didn't! I swear. I just - Okay, I swear that sounds more than crazy but-" "Spit it out or I'll kick your ass, Marquez. Where is my boyfriend?" "He's with Puig, but... He... I'm just gonna say it - Jorge, Dani got turned into his kidself."

Jorge was sure he had misheard that. "He what now?" "Dani is around 2 years old at the moment. Physically and mentally. He is - He is in Puigs office. He asked for his parents and we informed them but I thought it might be good if you could look after him? I mean... He seems to be okay with Puig but I don't know. You two are close so..."

He nodded, numb from hearing what had happened. He grabbed his shoes from the side of the door. He saw another pair of Dani's. Dani. What the hell was going on? He slightly closed his eyes as he put his on, trying to make himself that this might just be a stupid prank from Marc.

Maybe it was a prank to make Jorge walk in a meeting between Dani and Puig. But it didn't felt like a prank. And at the end, there was only one way to know. They make their way to the Honda hospitality. It was late enough to slip in without being notice by the media or anyone that wasn't supposed to know.

The Honda mechanics didn't even bat an eye, considering Jorge and Dani had been sneaking around for 3 years already. Dani had even told him that he once overheard one of the mechanics telling a new engineer that if he saw Jorge outside of the racing hours he was as much part of the team as Dani and he was allowed in. Jorge wasn't fucking with their bike. Just with their rider.

Clinging to the memory, he found himself standing infront of an office door. He was about to say something but Marc had already knocked before opening the door.

There was a silent laughter coming from inside. It was high pitched, unlike an adult voice. It sounded - yes, it sounded like a kids laugh. Jorge felt his mind running, searching for a solution that wasn't what Marc had mentioned earlier.

"Marc, you're back. Did you get your super solution?" Puig asked, voice dripping with sarcasm. "Ma-ak!" another voice said. It was the same higher - almost childish one. "Yes, that's right. That's Marc" Puig replied, his tone kind. "I did!" Marc replied as he dragged Jorge inside the room. "Here he is?!" "

Lorenzo" the older man replied, his voice as cold neutral as always when they had to interact. That was the exact reason why Dani kept them away from each other as much as possible. They couldn't stand the other.

Jorge wanted to answer as condescending as possible. But he couldn't speak. The words were stuck in his throat. They wouldn't come out. Not when there was a little kid sitting on Puigs lap.

The older Spaniard was still holding a childrens book. But Jorge couldn't keep his eyes of the child. He had seen the boy before. He had seen him in pictures at Dani's parents place. They were glued in old albums, the edges already turning color.

He had dark brown hair and big eyes. He had a wide face, baby cheeks that he would still shine through even years - decades later. Despite being only - 2 or 3 - years old, he already had the facial lines that would define him. The ones that Jorge knew so well, so very well.

Jorge stared at them, knowing there was no denial. That kid was Dani. Dani. His Dani. The man that was - would be - his boyfriend.

He stared at the child, unable to react, unable to form words. He looked at the brown eyes that he loved so much. He had seen them laugh and cry. He had seen this child - this baby - this innocent, sweet soul who still lived in a world of wonders and miracles, cry, curse and hate.

He blinked, feeling a wave of protectivness wash over him. He wanted to protect that child from all the bad things, every comment anyone, including himself, every made about his weight, height and abilities. He wanted to hold him tight, protect him against the world.

But right now he could only blink. He blinked, trying to make the picture infront of him change.

It didn't.

Dani just tilted his little head. For a moment Jorge thought his head was too heavy for his shoulders and he would just fall to the side. But he didn't. He way leaning dangerously much to the side but he kept being seated. His mouth was hanging open as if to say something but he didn't.

"I thought we should get the boyfriend involved." Marc explained with a smile. "So he can take care of-" "No. You're not needed." Puig responsed coldly. "You can leave. We have everything sorted. Dani is gonna remain with me until his parents arrive."

"Fuck off" Jorge shot back. "I don't care what you think of me but I won't let you take care of him." "His parents signed a contract when Dani was a minor that I-" "You can stick your legalities up your ass. He is my boyfriend." "And my rider"

"Okay stop it. Both of you" Marc intervened quickly. "We should let Dani decide" "Dani is 2!" "Da-ani!" the boy interrupted with a giggle. He clearly didn't had a care in the world as he smiled at Jorge. He couldn't help but return the smile.

He nodded and made a step toward him. He kneeled down infront of him. "That's right. You're Dani" he said and the kid nodded too. He put his little hand on his chest and repeated "Dani!"

"Hello Dani" he replied with a soft voice. "I'm very happy to meet you. My name is Jorge" He offered him a hand. Dani stared at him. He looked at his hand then reached for it. He put his hand above his fingers, squeezing them lightly. "Hosche" he babbled, clearly trying his best while staring right at Jorge.

"Jorge" "Jhocheee" "Ah. close enough." he decided. "Hi Dani. Are you okay?" "Good." he replied and sat up straighter.

Puig immediately went to grab him but he had already started to shuffle and move in his hold. "No" he muttered and grabbed the older Spaniards hands from his sides. "Want cuddles. Want Kocheee" "I think he just decided whose gonna take care of him." Jorge replied with a triumphant smile as he reached for the boy.

"You have no idea what you're doing" the other argued back. "You can't deal with a kid." "Maybe, but it's Dani. I'm gonna learn. And I'd rather have him live with me in chaos than have him spend even a minute more with you." he spit back before picking Dani up.

He lifted him up, so that Puig didn't even had a chance to argue back. Now that he was holding him in his arm, he realized that - yes, he really had no idea what he's doing. He stared at the boy and tried to remember what his sister had said.

Secure hold. Right.

That makes the most sense. He positioned the toddler on his side, an arm tightly wrapped around him to ensure his safety. He was just trying to make sure he didn't looked completly incompetent to Puig. He was about to bit out another comment towards the Dani's former manager when the boy laughed.

His little hands clumsily grabbed Jorge's face. He felt his small fingers against his cheek. He lifted them and put them back again. It felt like soft slaps.

Jorge laughed. It reminded him a little bit of his Dani, cupping his face and adding different level of pressure while he tried to make a point.

"You..." the boy said, unsure where he was was going with this so he just started laughing as Jorge stick out his tongue. "If you excuse us" Jorge said with a smile. He didn't wait for an answer, turned around and left.

He had just left the room when he suddenly wondered what he had just done. He looked at the toodler - Dani - who was now completly depending on him. HIM. He was responsible for this little kid that barely knew the difference between his hand and a piece if bread if the way he was suddenly biting his fingers was anything to go by.

"No, Dani, no" he quickly said, taking his wrist and carefully pulling it back. "We don't bite our own skin. No biting" "But... Tasty." Jorge blinked in confusion. He didn't know what to reply to that so he just repeated "Okay. I respected that but - still. No biting yourself. Please."

He almost begged but got a frustrated frown in return. "But... Wanna..." "No." he stated again. He wondered how many arguments like that would follow. And he wondered how he would handle them.

It wasn't like he had some good examples. He wasn't sure what to do and when and how. All he knew was what it was like to be yelled at as a child. And hit. And kicked.

He swallowed at the memories. That was all he knew. He didn't know how to take care a kid and love a kid. He knew how to hurt one, first hand experience.

No. He wouldn't do that to Dani. So... Maybe.

Maybe Puig was right. Maybe he wasn't the right one to look after Dani. Maybe he should just return, give Dani back and disappear until Dani was himself again.

He shouldn't be left alone with a kid. What if he lashed out? What if he really was like his father? He knew they had similar reactions in other situations, no matter how much Jorge had tried not to be like his father. So what if children where just another point of the lost of scary similarities?

It had been a deep rooted fear of Jorge and he couldn't let Dani be the one that had to check if it was true or not. He felt cold sweat running down his back as he looked for a solution, an out, any way that would keep Dani safe - even from him.

The solution came in form of Marc who just came up behind him. He was about to leave the Honda hospitality as well, probably heading to his own motorhome. "Marc" he hissed when he spotted him. "Fuck. Get back here!"

"Mak!" Dani repeated and waved at the other man. "Mm? What?" the younger man asked as he returned the gesture to the boy. "Here. You need to take him and - you know... Take care of him" "What? No! I thought you-" "I-Yes but... I really can't. I mean - I have no Idea how and I'm going to fuck him up" he tried to explain.

"Fuck him up? As in... Annoy him? I'm pretty sure a 2 year old will be doing a way better job at this." "As in - I didn't had the best childhood so what if I'm gonna hurt him?" he asked. He shifted slightly. Marc gave him a look that said everything and nothing but above all disapproval.

"Jorge, look at me" Marc said with a serious voice. "I know Dani. If he would think that you could hurt him - adult or child - he would not be dating you. I'm pretty sure he wants kids one day, so look me in the eyes and tell me he'd be dating you if he'd think you could actually fuck up a kid." "That's different. That's-" "Okay, then-"

Without hesitation, Marc took little Dani from Jorge. Jorge watched the child shake his head. "No!" he mumbled leaning back towards Jorge, reaching for him with his tiny arms. He blinked at him, staring at him as best as his big little brown eyes allowed it. "Hosche. Want back."

"Look at baby Dani" Marc said and he did. "And tell me you can actually look at him and think you're capable to fuck him up. If you say you actually - and I'm talking like 100% sure there is a slight chance, not the fear, not anxiety, not trauma response, you are actually sure that you - think you could hurt him, physically or mentally, then I'm gonna take him to my motorhome. My dad, Alex and I are gonna take care of him until he turns back or his parents arrive. But I will make sure you won't be seeing him, if that's the case. And by God, I'm gonna tell adult Dani that you actually thought you could hurt hin"

"No" he answered quickly. He wasn't sure if it was the look in Dani's eyes or the thought of not being able to see and take care of him. Both felt wrong.

"I - I wouldn't hurt him. I..." He started at Dani, he looked him directly in his brown eyes while he was busy clapping and babbling something, trying to get his or Marc's attention.

He was so small, so innocent. He was vulnerable and there was no way he was going to do anything but protect him. He just wanted to pick him up again, hold him close and protect him against the world, making sure no crash and no comment would ever hurt him again.

"I would never hurt him. Never. I can't okay? But I - I have no idea how to deal with kids. And what if something goes wrong and I accidentally hurt him?" He wanted to add that he might lose his temper but then he knew he wouldn't yell at him. He just wouldn't.

"Breaking news, Jorge. Toddlers always get hurt on accidents." Marc replied, his voice kinder. "They're toddlers. And most new parents don't know what to do. It's learning by doing, you know? But I think the way you want to protect him, is definitely a good start. So..." he said as he handed back the fuzzy toodler.

Dani immediately grabbed Jorge's shirt and pulled himself tighter to him. His fist deep in the material, refusing to let go.

"Good luck, mate. The bar is pretty low. Just make sure he doesn't get hurt, okay?" "Not helping." "I know. But look at him. He's gonna be happy with some cuddles and food."

Food? Right. "What do kids even eat?" he asked. "Everything. So make sure he doesn't try to eat something not eatable" "What?" "Alex tried to eat glass when he was like 2. I remember I had to stop him very often from eating not food. Glass. Paper. A hankerchief. Stuff like that."

"Okay..." he mumbled, unsure but determined. He looked at Dani who was still clinging to him as if he feared Jorge would give him away again.

He felt a pang of guilt that he had made him think that, so he leaned down and kissed his forhead. "Don't worry. I'll take care of you" he said. Knowing, that this could be Intresting.

🐢 So, per the what are you going to do about it. First of all, never ever apologise for taking your time with replying!! I love every reply of yours to my asks and it makes me smile whenever a notification of your posts with my icon appears and makes me want to curl up into a blanket and breathe your post in.

And now to the pedrenzo part. I’ll be honest, to me it still doesn't have that particular feeling it has to you, it's not thaaat teasing to me, but I obviously get where your point is coming from. But both versions make sense but I'm afraid I don't know enough about Jorge and his past and character and stuff to fully understand everything of your view on that. BUT i love what you made out of it, and please ALWAYS say what's on your mind regarding Pedrenzo and other ships 🥺

And the cutest thing is the human blanket thought, especially considering Dani's height. But Jorge loves him so much and only having Dani this close is enough for him, enough warmth, enough comfort, enough of everything. And after a fight it means even more to Jorge that Dani is still there and doesn't leave him BUT INSTEAD LOVES HIM!!

Which leads me to a spontaneous question, how do you picture them cuddling? Spooning? Human blanket? Just a puddle of entangled limbs?

Hiiii, oh that is so sweet, thank you so much. It always makes me sooo happy to see you in my inbox, trust me

Okay I have to be honesty maybe that's just me being a liiiiiittle influenced cause my asshole father always said that what are you going to be about it when he was being an asshole so maybe that's why I'm slightly biased with sentences like that.

Sadly I can't find the post anymore but somewhere on here is a post explaining the relationship between Jorge and his father throughout the years very detailed. I didn't read all of it but in short Jorge's dad seems to be an abusive asshole that pushed Jorge for perfection in racing without caring for the emotional impact his action have.

That's actually why he is my favorite and Pedrenzo means a lot to me. Like I had a pretty shitty childhood and it really messed me up. And for some time I had lots of self hate and self doubt and pretty much saw myself as unlovable. So idk writing Pedrenzo with Jorge in a similar position, especially young Jorge and Dani helping him through that kind of heals a part of me. Maybe it's stupid idk, it just helps me with a lot of stuff so maybe I'm sometimes a little self projecting on Pedrenzo.

And about the human blanket YES YES YES YES YES YES. YES. Just yes. Oh I love how you phrased that. Only having Dani this close is enough, enough warmth, enough comfort, enough everything. THAT'S EXCATLY WHAT I'M THINKING! Like for me (again possible self projecting) I like to write Jorge with the need to be physically close to Dani preferably with physical contact. And when Dani is laying on top of him and every inch of Dani is touching him it's like perfection for him. Because he knows that Dani is 100% there and he feel safe with him and he wants to be there.

And after a fight (I'm currently working on a Pedrenzo fight story btw you want a sneak peak?) it's even more. (Again self projecting) I like to always include flashbacks to rpf version of Jorge's childhood with possible punishments like denying of physical contact or ignoring him. (For teh record that's just an rpf version cause obviously I don't know my details about the abuse) so for Dani to acknowledge him after a fight and show him that he is love is like everything in that moment. Especially if the fight isn't yet resolved. Like maybe they haven't said sorry yet or maybe they did but there's still anger lingering but Dani takes Jorge's hand nonetheless and they go to sleep cuddling. To me that's perfection. That's the love I want one day. Dani being a perfect boyfriend knowing how to comfort him. I'm here for it.

Oh the cuddle question - good question - very good question.... I'd say.... All of it. But preferably human blanket actually for the reason explained above. It's just max. physical contact. But I also think sometimes spooning. Dani being the little spoon not just because of height reasons. But it allows Jorge to hold Dani save in his arms and have him close. Now I have to add the addition that of sometimes because I'd like to point out that in that position Dani would be facing away from Jorge which might cause anxiety for Jorge. You know like Dani being turned away from him, not looking at him, might seem a little closed of but that maybe just me being me again 😅

Idk the way I like to portray pedrenzo (of course there are many way you can totally see stuff different this is just based on my personal preference and judgements and experiences) as soon as Jorge is comfortable in the relationship he really, really needs physical contact. Not in a way that he's always holding Dani's hand or following him around but more like that he can't go to sleep without Dani next to him, preferably having him in his arms. Or that when he is absolutely pissed because of some shit Vale pulled, he just needs to kiss to Dani and put his head against his forehead to be able to breath again. Kind of like Dani being his anchor. And I also LOVE to picture young Dani absolutely not expecting that kind of casual physical touch. Like he knows angry Jorge as an angry teenager that has some soft spots. But now he realizes Jorge is actually a softy with some angry spots (if that makes sense) and don't get me wrong he absolutely LOVES that version and teh amount of physical touch he gets. He was just suprised at first, considering the way Jorge would dodge physical contact with most others.

Oh I absolutely love analyzing Pedrenzo and telling you all about it. I normally can't really portray all of it that well in fics so being able to actually explain it is amazing. Thank you soooo much for giving me that opportunity ❤️❤️❤️ much love to you ❤️❤️❤️
